What’s wrong with that haircut? It’s neat and looks good and ladies like it. That broccoli cut is just atrocious.

When I was a kid it was the bowl cut, now that’s a travesty. The haircut in the picture is nice

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 1 hour ago

Yeah, but you didn't have to go get a perm done for that style. You just got a $15 hair cut.

[–] FundMECFSResearch@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 46 minutes ago

How about we let people style their hair however the fuck they like. I see all these comments ridiculing different haircuts as if being fucking apes with hair going in slightly different ways at different lengths blabbering on about which way is better wasn’t the ridiculous part.

[–] Krik@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 17 minutes ago

The Suebian knot, a common hair style 2000 years ago. I'll take the broccoli over that.

But I'll like the viking hair styles more.

But I'm just a lazy fuck with a common ponytail because I don't want to visit a hairdresser every few months.

This picture may represent humanity at its peak.

[–] lepinkainen@lemmy.world 12 points 1 hour ago

This was the time when rock stars wore heavy makeup, painted their nails, had long lucious curly hair wore pants that cut off circulation

Nobody said they were “gay” or “trans”, they were just rock and fucking roll and whatever they wanted

“What do ya waaaant?”

[–] MossyFeathers@pawb.social -2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Is this supposed to be a dig at guys with long hair? Guys with long hair are sexy. Not my fault you feel intimidated by their masculinity.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

Lol. Not at all.

[–] DamienGramatacus@lemmy.world 14 points 2 hours ago

It is the right of younger generations to confuse older gens with their style and older ones to be confused/offended by them. A tale as old as time.

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 4 points 1 hour ago

Calling it a broccoli haircut is unfair to broccoli...

It's the haircut of Gen Z fuckboys. The scum of the generation, not the generation as a whole

[–] adam_y@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

Round our way it is still mullets and Ned Flanders moustaches.

Good for them. I could never pull that off.

[–] Mac@mander.xyz 20 points 3 hours ago

No way, broccoli hair is significantly worse than almost any other hairstyle.

You couldn't convince me broccoli hair was started as a meme to see if people would make themselves look dumb to follow a trend.

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

I'm only surprised it's the hair that's silly. I thought the standard for intergenerational mockery was leg fashion. And unless you want to get on these kids for treating pajama bottoms like sweatpants... eh.

[–] get_the_reference_@midwest.social 2 points 54 minutes ago (1 children)

We had tight-rolled, acid-washed jeans, so much better than sweatpants /s

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 2 points 50 minutes ago

Look, stupid as JNCOs are, they were intended for outdoor use. Possibly as a tent. That'd explain the size and all the carabiners.

[–] Diddlydee@feddit.uk 66 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I've never had hair like that, but the pic seems like a pretty normal haircut I've seen from mid-90s through to now

[–] sh00g@lemmy.zip 14 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

It's basically just a crew cut...AKA one of the most popular short haircuts of all time!

[–] get_the_reference_@midwest.social 2 points 53 minutes ago

Isn't that a Caesar? It's combed forward which makes all the difference.

[–] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 13 points 2 hours ago

Yeah but the signature of this was the propped up "wave" in the front, I remember that being huge through elementary and middle school in the 90s

[–] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 42 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

The early 90's mushroom haircut trend was worse by far

[–] Thorry84 37 points 4 hours ago

Once the butt cut was peak hair.

[–] TheFriar@lemm.ee 15 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago) (1 children)

It’s back bay-bee!

I’m just waiting for the other early 2000s hair trends to come back. Frosted tips, insane amounts of gel to spike it up, maybe some pukka shell necklaces? Maybe some Hawaiian shirts? Maybe those big ball chains? Converse? Just bring back third wave ska?

[–] swab148@lemm.ee 6 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Absolutely bring back the ska! Tbf, it never really went away, just not in the mainstream anymore.

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 4 points 2 hours ago

Tbf, it never really went away, just not in the mainstream anymore.

You can say that about most things people want to bring back.

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 32 points 5 hours ago

If you can’t bully children for their terrible haircuts, why even perpetuate their creation?

[–] ThePantser@lemmy.world 41 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Speak for yourself, I had frosted and fire tips.

[–] Frostbeard@lemmy.world 22 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago) (3 children)

Billabong sweater, or T-shirt over long arms. Oakleys, baggy low on the hip jeans and (possibly JNCO even if I prefered other brands) DC skateboard shoes. Soundtrack - The Offspring - Conspiracy of One. I would jack back into 2000 in an instant

[–] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 4 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

Don't forget the puka shell necklace

[–] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 11 points 4 hours ago

Man I lived in DCs for years. Zero arch for my flat feet and they just slipped on. Even good for working in restaurants.

[–] Anissem@lemmy.ml 22 points 5 hours ago (3 children)

What the fuck is broccoli hair?

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 43 points 4 hours ago (3 children)
[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 2 points 29 minutes ago

What do you even ask for at the barbers to end up with that?

Skin fade to pot noodle, please mister?

[–] Gerudo@lemm.ee 2 points 43 minutes ago

Do we know if they actually perm their hair? With as many haircuts like this that I see, they can't ALL have curly hair right?

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 4 points 2 hours ago (3 children)

Where I am, mullets made a comeback a year or so ago, and now the odd person will get one.

[–] FundMECFSResearch@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 47 minutes ago

That happened half a decade ago here. Been spreading.

[–] BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk 3 points 1 hour ago

Not just mullets, but mullet and tache combo.

My condolences

[–] peregrin5@lemm.ee 8 points 4 hours ago

Tbh I still find that haircut to be quite attractive. Cannot say the same for broccoli cuts.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 5 points 4 hours ago

"me had hair?"

[–] Phen@lemmy.eco.br 7 points 4 hours ago

I just never do anything with my hair. I let it be free to be however it wants.
